Ryobi RPW130XRBB

The GHI's Tried & Tested verdict of the Ryobi RPW130XRBB

17/04/2018

Overall Score: 80/100

Tested April 2018

Cleaning stubborn ground-in grime does take a little longer with the Ryobi RPW130XRBB than some other models and you may need to use a combination of nozzles to get the job done. But it is forgivable as results are decent. The patio cleaner is good for covering large areas quite speedily but only removes the top layer of grime. For more stubborn areas we changed over to the variable power spray nozzle which gave a good result and didn't damage the grouting.

Windows were quickly and easily cleaned. Just a few minor smears left on the glass, which were easily buffed out with a cloth at the end when drying the water off. Likewise, the car was cleaned of almost all the muck and dirt using a combination of the brush attachment and variable power nozzle.

The RPW130XRBB is pretty straight-forward to use though we found some of the attachments a bit fiddly to attach and remove and the instructions lacked detail.

Average - this product has been scientifically assessed to have average noise levels for this category.

GHI Expert Verdict

The Ryobi RPW130XRBB comes in at just under £100, making it one of the cheaper models we've reviewed but that doesn't mean results aren't as good as more expensive pressure washers. Patio, window and car cleaning was very acceptable though took longer than some of the other models we've tested.
